At the foot of the Mendip Hills, Westbury-sub-Mendip is a village known for its scenery, friendliness, and strong sense of community. At the centre of that community sits our volunteer-run Westbury-sub-Mendip Community Shop—a place created by local people, for local people, and proudly rooted in village life.

Supporting Local Producers
